Finally posting details :). Copied and pasted from my blog: About 8:30, I started timing them and they were 10 min apart and stayed that way for another couple hours. Toward the end of the second hour they were starting to hurt more, and then when it was more like 5 min apart, I called the hospital at 11:30. They asked me a few questions about times, length of my first labor, and such and said I should come in. So we got Noah up and took him to our friend's house where he was going to stay while we were at the hospital. He wasn't too thrilled at first, until DH told him that we were taking him to her house so we could go to the hospital and he would get to meet Hazel soon. He was excited about that and went along. Thankfully, he didn't keep her up all night, either. He settled fairly soon after we dropped him off. We got the hospital and got all admitted. They checked and I was only at 4 cm, so it seemed like we'd be there awhile, but contractions were still regular and things were moving forward. I was monitored for about an hour, then got to be off the monitors for about an hour. During that time, we walked around and I sat on the exercise ball. Contractions started to get more intense and I decided to try the tub. Our nurse checked me again to make sure I hadn't progressed too much for the tub and I was still only at 4 cm (I was a little disappointed to hear this...). So she got the tub ready and we walked down the hall to the room where the tub was, having to stop a few times on the way for contractions. She told us she'd go get our delivery tray ready since it seemed like things might be moving along more now. We were in the tub for about 5 minutes when I felt like I need to push (I was really bummed, I wanted more time in the tub)! DH paged the nurse and I was at 7 cm already! So we got out and I got ready since things were moving along rapidly (I was getting a little freaked out at how fast things were going)! DH kept talking to me and kept me calm and was so awesome. They paged the midwife and a few minutes and 3 pushes later, Hazel was born at 4:01 am, just 45 minutes after my nurse had checked me and decided I had time to go use the tub :).
